Beecraigs Festive Forest lights up with the spirit of Christmas

Beecraigs Festive Forest is now open and shining brightly with the spirit of Christmas as the woods sparkle and shimmer in an amazing light show. 

Extravagant lighting effects and one of the UK’s most powerful laser shows are illuminating a magical festive trail in the forest near Linlithgow. 

A VIP event launched this year’s spectacular which runs from now (Dec 2) until December 23 and has already sold out for some nights. 

A treat for all the family, the Festive Forest experience includes a spectacular 1.8m walk through woodland,  packed with stunning visuals and sound effects, and a wealth of other attractions plus the chance to help Beecraigs’ charity partner Maggie’s cancer support.

And there’s a wide variety of festive food and drink in the new Santa village.  

“We promised we’d be back bigger, brighter and bolder than ever,” said Roy Snedden, Director of Rowen Events, “and we believe we’ve pulled it off.
